nice objects, nothing else. how can stuff like this win?
I still think fr-05 is the best prod from these guys, since it isn't the usual "hey check it out! I have three dimensions and I just used everyone of them! Let's do this over and over again at every party!" stuff that they usually produce.

It's not that they can't, it's just that they won't.
(frustrated as I am, I will not give it a thumb down because i'm sure there was a lot of work involved)

its ok, interresting though. a lot of stuff have been released from MS, none without much attention. then farbrauch makes a noise, and everybody is over it like fly's on a corpse...did someone say stuff like namevoting or buttkissing wasnt part of the scene?!. Nevertheless it is farbrauch as we love and admire them, high quality!
ohh and excuse me sir, could you please remove your lips from that mans arse... o_O

Oh, that text above there about the final version went into the database with the wrong username. It's me, Chaos, humbly begging for forgiveness because of the bugs i coded. It won't take long to fix, but a lot of testing has to be done to ensure maximum stability and compatibility.

actually, i ALWAYS need a final to get it right, but this final is usually pretty good.

tested on several machines and also found one where it hangs:
WinXP - AMD 1GHz - 768MB RAM, Geforce3Ti500 64MB, latest nvidia detonators, DirectX 8.1, Abit KT7 with via apollo kt133 chipset (<--- i suspect this one to be responsible for the hangs)

WOOOOWW!!!!!! this is unbelivable! great job guys. it reminded me of some maturefurk "mega"-demos in 64k! the usual quality of farbrausch with great design creates an awesome mix!
fantastic.... we want more of these stuff.
code + design ... this is what demos are supposed to be like.

I'm a little behind everyone else, but I still gotta pay my respect. The objects and the text flowing around them are simply gorgeous. The whole thing runs smooth as silk on my Athlon+GF2. Great music too. Buuut.. maybe just a little too much black background for my taste (damn, why must I try to find faults with everything? :)

this one kick you in the ass, makes your eyes wet, hits you in the face, and gives you the feeling that someone still can make great stuff...
...and it seems to be self-repairing, as it froze when i watched it first, but tomorrow morning it run like a dream. :)

I finally found some time to work on the final version. too much work in the office. but i got Radeon 8500, Matrox G400 and Voodoo 5500 running. All GeForce cards should work too. Even the good old G400 is fast enough, if the CPU can cope with the math that is.

Hmm, just wanted to express my state of happyness somewhere... the mainboard related bugs will be harder to track down.

yes ok. it's a demo alright.
it's about the horse which a poem is submitting. so i like the part where it all get this big surprise!!!!! i really like!!! it's really about my horse i think. but!
i'm not sure of this is a really what we are a thinks it is... really! i was "suprise" with horse flying through tunnel but ok i like him anyways.

nice surprise from Farbrausch. this intro is best thing i ever seen from them - even if i seen it only once at the party... i cant recall music and stuff but impression i got is still there in the air.. one more intro to enjoy.

technical code jewel served with delicious graphics.. i found it a bit sterile, but that's after all a part of the farb-rausch style.
still a pleasure to watch, it's overblasting once again the intro thingy, but this time without the arrogance.

When I saw FR-014, with the abstract objects, and the ambient, spacy techomusic, I was pleasantly surprised.
An FR production with a real demo-feel to it.
I was disappointed that it wasn't quite finished though...

But this... this well makes up for it. FR continues in the same style, but this time in a finished and polished production. I enjoyed it very much :)

The party version actually worked on both my machines (one KT133A with GF2GTS, one KT266A with Radeon 8500, both running Windows XP), the only slight problem that I saw, was that the R8500 had some errors at the edges of the objects with the envmapping and the flatshading... Didn't look 100% correct. (FR-08 does something similar with the textures, most notably in the sky at the edges of the screen).

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch it again, for the umpteenth time :)

The final version eats a lot of RAM, but is more precise and texts are easier to read. Always a great moment, the graphics are excelent, and music is really good and stylish, technical is impressive.
FR rockz !

ouch, i can't thumb up this one again. So much beauty in such a small package...
Your FR guys don't know when to stop? :))
this is runs like a dream, looks like a dream, sound like a dream, feels like a dream, tastes like i don't know...
kusma's right this is nothing to do with the top 10. this IS the number one... :) for 64k at least.
respect.love.poemtoahorse.

hmm.. i also wonder what it takes to get this baby running. haven't got either the party or final version working at home (win2k+256mb+gf2mx/32mb+28.32 detonators). other fr releases and most of the demos run fine on my setup so this is quite weird... any ideas?

Finally the intro works correctly on my GF2Ti, the final scroller is slow enough to read and there are alot of fixes / improvements here and there. One thing I liked better in the party version is how the music blows out after the 'flower' part...

shifter: the arrogance in the slogans of fr-019-final is NO farb-rausch trademark. i guess some scoopex guys will beat the shit out of you if you claim that "generations ahead" has something to do with farb-rausch (if you were refering to that). although i have to admit that the more or less arrogant sanity slogans were picked by me, 10 years ago.

Oh dear, I really seemed to have touched a nerve there! As tongue-in-cheek as most of your superiority complex has been in the past, it was a welcome change to see none of it in the party version, that's all.

And don't lecture me on that Scoopex slogan, I'm far too old to have missed it, okay? ;)

unfortunately we do not own the copyright for this "lousy text". actually none of the "arrogance" is a farbrausch trademark. ;)
you can blame the spirit of the good old amiga-days if you like but we see it more as a tribute to the old legends who still knew how to create superior scene-lyrics. read the scrolltext for more information or watch some amiga-demos for a little reminiscence... :)

Bah... I seriously hate the "press submit without entering anything except the default values and suddenly be logged in as aftermath" problem at pouet. Oh well, perhaps I should take "responsibility" for the above "aftermath" comment, then -- the thumbs up has already been given ;-)

I'm waiting for a really really really cool 4kB from you guys in 2004, then, if you're going for something groundbreaking every four years ;-)

First to say: I'm a musician. And then: I liked "Das Produkt" better than this one because of the music. I'd like to have kb sound in the next demo again. The effects are great and the style too but the music isn't that upbeat than in the product. There is one catchy melody but thats it.. So, if the music was better, this would be THE intro I'd say..

FR-08: Hey dudes, can we store 1gigabytes of data into 64kb ??? Yes, let's try :)
FR-19: Hey dudes, now we know that we can store one gigabyte of data into 64kb: Let's made a cool demo with the FR-08 engine :))

yeah sure its really awesome and cool and shit, but its not my taste, I found it boring. good work, but where is the vector to red deamon balls over chess landscape with evil emperor standing behinde the mountains to the sound of cybernoid2?

party version tested :
good music, exceptional code, interesting objects
no transitions, not exciting, impossible to read the texts
the last effect with faceted object is very good
pigface voting for me

i just watched this again after a couple of months. the visuals impressed me even more than they did back then, probably because i watched many many average demos in the meantime.

the tune however, seems a bit weak to me now. sound is good, main theme too, but overall it's not very exciting. a far cry from the liquid wen tune, for example. (ok, it has to fit in 64k, but that has little impact on the composition itself.)

the final seems to load/decrunch much more slowly than the original.. nevermind, still deserves the credit it has received. much more stylish than the produkt. fR rule for size coding, obviously, but the sync, objects and design in this are all top notch. love all that text spinning around. i'll try reading more of it someday. the flower sequence towards the end is beautiful. the fR soft-synth sounds great as ever, even if the musical content doesn't quite reach the heights of everything else.

This kinda blows. It looked nice, yes, but otherwise the demo didn't succeed in giving me the chills. It is amazing, of course stuff like this in 64k is, but still it lacks something that, for example, Bakkslide seven has. Maybe this lacks in the atmosphere.

Hmm looks like I missed commenting on this...
Well, back then at the party, seeing it on the bigscreen really changed something in me (probably coz our intro came 17th out of 18 on m&s2k2 ;)...
And now look what you made me do... I even got envolved in a Conspiracy to beat you guys :D
respect, and thanx too

Smooth, stylish, lots of cool effects, and an interesting use of text... lots of text. :) I like the tune, although the drum sounds like it should be a little deeper to match the overall ambiance of the demo. In the end, that's a very minor point in an otherwise jaw-dropping production. I appreciate this just as much as fr-08, although I like this one more from a scene perspective, just because it feels more like a traditional demo in terms of the way everything is put together and sequenced. Top-notch work.

this little thing is simply wonderful.
I like the main melody of the music, the very nice looking effects and the overall ambience in it. guyz@farbrausch are in the top 3 of the most experienced demomakers, for sure.
not so boring to me, just a dive in a dark space world !

It's like they made the game for it, probably the best demonstration for stereo, all scene's works so lovely. The end scene is the best, specially if you can withstand very wide seperation, it's really amazing :)

I'M ADDRESSING AUTOR (DIRECTLY) HERE: your work is amazing. ...But still it's just a picture on a screen. Here I just wanted to make a single suggestion: MAKE A STEREOSCOPIC VERSION (two parallel screens (on a single monitor...) - side by side with an eye-distance difference in point of view (rendering) - so when you cross your eyes (by staring) the pictures overlap and create 3D (depth) ilusion - that way you will see things just like you're RIGHT THERE in that amazing space)

Beautiful. This demo keeps going and going. It makes you wonder if you remember the filesize correctly. Amazing.

Great colours and shapes.

When the scene moved to 3D I was sceptical. But considering productions like this are the result the (inevitable) move has turned out great. Eventhough the code is not fully the coders own anymore, the productions are fully worthy.

music works well, but i'm soon going to start thumbing these kind of prods down for simply being 3d fly-by's without any real code. these contain just a packed engine with scripting. it's not demo anymore.

Couldn't believe what I was watching when this came out in '02. This sure is one of the finest 64ks of all time. Fantastic poly count and design in every scene, awesome music, never ever even thinks about droping a frame - perfect code! And the final scene with the disco ball-thingy is just like a two week holiday in the orgasmatron :-)
Big thumb up!

running problems on 8800gts, same as 2900xt :( i have artifacts. party version has no running problems.
seems to be newandimproved.version not compatible with new GeForce 8x00 and Radeon 2x00 series, even with latest drivers installed. :(

this was the first demo i've seen in my life. my friend said, "you know, it's just 64kb." "what?!! impossible! it must be loading files from somewhere..."
and then i found out what demoscene was about.

this is very solid production, the real classic of farbrausch. the tune is maybe the best one i ever heard in demos, i love the trancey melody and the drop part.
also, this sixty-fourtro runs on my good old geforce2 mx!

Sorry I had to thumb this down although it's ok, just to show how much I think it it overrated. Nothing special, and the title takes me back to memories of Ed the talking Horse for some reason. Anyway, pretty boring.

I completely adore how this unassumingly shattered the preceding notions of what was possible in 64k with its multitude of eye-candy effects shown at a considerably lazy pace. I wonder how it would look had it been done today.

Still awesome one. Too bad it has these days issues with graphic cards drivers. Can not get it to run without graphics bugs :( Farbrausch, perhaps you can patch it somehow so this masterpiece is working again under recent hardware? ;)
